> Comparing emergency broadcasts to social media doesn't make sense.

The comment you are responding to is not doing that.

The point was that there is little value is using a niche social media platform for emergency broadcasts because so few people use it.

Sure, once you have the bigger platforms covered, there's no harm in adding smaller ones, but people calling to ditch twitter and use mastodon or some other service are being silly.

Why ditch one? Just post to both.

Exactly.

You should publish to multiple platforms if the message is deemed important. Nothing wrong with duplicating messages across private and public infrastructure websites.
